In August and September 2017 I spent some time traveling through Myanmar. Starting in the former capital city Yangon, we made our way all the way north to Hsipaw in the autonomous Shan State. On this trip, I had the opportunity to to document the social and environmental issues in this country in the state of transition from a military dictatorship to a somewhat democratic state. In this blog entry I want to share some images from Yangon and my experiences in the city with you.
